Trac Outdoor Oars
Trac Outdoor Oars: Reliable Rowing for Every Boater
Trac Outdoor has built a trusted name in the marine accessories world since its founding in 1998 as a family-owned business in Nashville, Tennessee. With a mission to deliver products with more convenience, features, and value to boaters and fishermen, Trac Outdoor applies that same philosophy to its line of oars — crafting practical, durable rowing equipment suited for rowboats, dinghies, tenders, and jon boats alike.
The Crooked Creek Connection
Trac Outdoor's oar products are closely tied to the Crooked Creek Paddle Company, a brand under the Trac Outdoor umbrella dedicated specifically to paddle and oar solutions. This focused heritage means that when you pick up a Trac Outdoor oar, you're getting a product developed by people who take rowing seriously — not a generic accessory thrown into a broader catalog.
Natural Finish Wood Oars
Among Trac Outdoor's most popular oar offerings are their Natural Finish Wood Oars, crafted from New Zealand Pine — a wood prized for its consistent grain, strength, and resistance to warping in wet environments. Available in multiple lengths, these oars combine a classic aesthetic with practical on-water performance. A smooth natural finish protects the wood while keeping the oar lightweight, and the integrated Comfort Grip gives rowers confident, slip-resistant control even with wet hands.
Painted and Finished Options
For boaters who want a more finished look or extra weather protection, Trac Outdoor also offers Marine Gray Painted Oars and Varnished Oars with Grip. The painted versions provide an additional protective barrier against moisture and UV exposure, making them well-suited for boats stored outdoors or used in saltwater environments. The varnished option balances classic wood character with a durable, sealed surface finish.
Aluminum and Synthetic Alternatives
Trac Outdoor rounds out its oar lineup with Aluminum/Synthetic Oars — a lightweight, corrosion-proof alternative to wood that's ideal for boaters looking for low-maintenance performance. These oars hold up season after season without the need for refinishing or sealing, making them a practical choice for rental fleets, fishing boats, and utility craft.
Comfort Grip Accessories
Beyond the oars themselves, Trac Outdoor offers dedicated Oar Comfort Grips that fit Crooked Creek oars as well as most competitor oar shafts. These slip-resistant grips enhance control and reduce hand fatigue during extended rowing sessions — a thoughtful detail that reflects Trac Outdoor's emphasis on practical, user-focused design.
A Brand Built for the Water
Since 2019, Trac Outdoor has been part of Camco Manufacturing, giving the brand access to expanded resources while retaining its core focus on boating and outdoor products. Whether you're outfitting a small aluminum fishing boat, a wooden skiff, or a lightweight inflatable tender, Trac Outdoor's oar selection offers a dependable, well-priced solution backed by decades of marine product expertise.
